LMAO! Look at the NY Post's list of the "liberal media".

[SeveneightyWhoa]

Of course, this is to be expected, but...

From this ridiculous editorial (http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/editorial/17814.htm).

All the following are apparently part of the liberal media complex:

"ABC, BBC, CBS, NBC, CNN, HBO, Showtime, National Public Radio, MTV, BET, PBS, Christiane Amanpour, Paul Begala, Gloria Borger, Ed Bradley, Aaron Brown, Tom Brokaw, Margaret Carlson, James Carville, Bob Costas, Walter Cronkite, Katie Couric, Sam Donaldson, Charlie Gibson, Jeff Greenfield, David Gregory, Bryant Gumbel, Al Hunt, Peter Jennings, Ted Koppell, Matt Lauer, Bill Maher, Chris Matthews, Terry Moran, Bill Moyers, Keith Olbermann, Dan Rather, Cokie Roberts, John Roberts, Charlie Rose, Diane Sawyer, Bob Schieffer, Mark Shields, Leslie Stahl, Hannah Storm, George Stephanopoulos, Nina Totenberg, Mike Wallace, Barbara Walters, Brian Williams and Judy Woodruff."


Yes, that's right, according to the NY Post, ABC, NBC, CNN, Gloria Borger, Tom Brokaw, Margaret Carlson, Jeff Greenfield, Brian Williams, and JUDY WOODRUFF?!

As if the list wasn't small enough to begin with, I'd have to argue that AT LEAST half aren't even LIBERAL! Judy Woodruff? Margaret Carlson? Those are the best they could come up with as proof of a liberal media?

Gee, I'm surprised they didn't include Bill Schneider or Wolf Blitzer.

[neverborn]

1. Tweety!??!?!

[Gothic Sponge]

4. Anything left of Hitler is too liberal to the post

n/t

[eleny]

6. Not the Tweezer!

[revcarol]

7. Steph and Cokie Roberts?

What planet is this rag from?

[prodigal_green]

19. Planet Murdoch

eom

[NightTrain]

2. Looks like their definition of "liberal" includes...

...everyone who is not an over-the-top, neo-fascist hate-monger. But remember where that list came from! :eyes:

[trumad]

3. Well here's Bartcop

and it's even outdated....

The Myth of the "liberal" media

Let's do a "what if" so I can make a point. I think it's a good one.
I think it's so good, I'd like to hear from anyone who disagrees.

What if a show like Dateline did a "hatchet job" on George W. Bush?
It wouldn't have to really be a hatchet job, but any honest appraisal of that idiot's
qualifications would prove he's a non-thinking rich man's boy - and that's all.
But what would happen if Dateline did an unflattering portrait of Bush?

I'll tell you what would happen:

The vulgar Pigboy would spend at least three hours saying it wasn't true
and he'd offer hours of rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Bill O'Reilly would spend at least an hour on his show saying
it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Sean Hannity would walk all over Alan Colmes for an hour that night,
saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Eva Von Zahn would spend at least an hour that night saying it wasn't true
and she'd offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

The Beltway Boys would spend at least an hour that night saying it
wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Brit Hume and Tony Snow would spend at least an hour on Sunday
saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Juan Williams and Mara Liason would spend their entire allotted time
saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

John McLaughlin would spend at least an hour on his syndicated show
saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Chris the Screamer would spend at least an hour on his show
saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

G. Gordon Liddy would spend at least three hours on his radio show
saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Laura the Whore would spend at least an hour on her radio show
saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Michael Medved would spend at least an hour on his radio show
saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Sam and Cokie would spend at least an hour on This Whore
saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

George (Judas Maximus) Steffi and George (dumb as a chimp) Will
would spend their entire allotted time swearing that it wasn't true.

Bob Scheiffer would spend at least an hour on Face the Whore
saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Tim the Catholic would spend at least an hour on Meet the Whore
saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

John Hockenberry would spend at least an hour on his show
saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Ollie North would spend at least an hour on his radio show
saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Robert Novak would spend at least an hour on his cable TV show
saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Paul Weyrich would spend at least an hour on his cable TV show
saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Still with me? We're close to the end...

BSNBC's Brian Williams would spend at least an hour on his show
saying it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Wolf the Whore would spend at least an hour on his show saying
it wasn't true and offer rebuttal as to why Dateline was lying.

Bill Schneider and Candy Crowley would do an hour special on CCN
(Clinton Cock Network) saying it wasn't true, and offering rebuttal.

John Stossel would have a special on ABC: Is lying OK for liberals?

Then Howie Kurtz would spend 30 minutes on Reliable Sources asking
if the media wasn't being too hard on a developmently-disabled child.

Barbara Olson would write a book condemning Dateline.
Ann Coulter would write a book condemning Dateline.
Laura Ingraham would write a book condemning Dateline.
Peggy Noonan would write a book condemning Dateline.
Andrew Sullivan would write a book condemning Dateline.
William Safire would write a book condemning Dateline.

OK, we're going to call the above "Exhibit A."

Now, everyone on that list has done at least a dozen hit pieces on Clinton.

My question is, Where is "Exhibit B?"

When those 38 people attack Clinton and his cock, who does the rebuttal?

Even you ditto-sheep have to admit that nobody on that list
has EVER defended a fabricated lie against the president.

There is no "Exhibit B," because there are so few liberal voices on television.
The closest you can get is Eleanor on McLaughlin or Geraldo, but there is barely
a liberal whisper on television, even though there are DOZENS of right-wing,
Smirk-apologist shows whose livelyhood is lying about liberals.

I don't think you ditto-heads can offer an answer.

[bloom]

29. a good list

:yourock:

[Old and In the Way]

5. By definition, anyone who does not parrot the RNC talking points

100% of the time is liberal.

[DBoon]

8. MTV?

Which episode of "The Osbournes" are they talking about? I must have missed that one.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

10. The fact that MTV plays rap music..

..and the fact that BET is a channel for black people, is, well, proof that they're "liberal".

But seriously, the funniest thing about this moronic editorial is the fact that they refer to only three members of the media as being conservative. THREE.

[mzmolly]

9. Hey they forgot Sean InsHanity and Joe Scarborough?

:P

[SeveneightyWhoa]

17. What??!

Those two are fair and balanced, dude! You should know that by now.

[shoopnyc123]

11. As a black person, I hate this because...

...most black people here read only the NY Post, or the Daily News, which is practically the same. The Post is 25 cents, so it's cheap. We also have the new "New York Sun", where you'll find that Laura girl, (th Ann Coulter clone). So, when it comes to issues, a lot of people that I know, just don't know. The Condi Rice flap didn't make the cover once on either the Post or News. Plus, the NY Times is a dollar.

[Jack_Dawson]

12. Gloria BORGER?

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha

[blm]

13. HALF of those are rightleaning centrists.

Most of the rest are fearful moderates.

Who the hell do they think they're fooling?

[chelsea0011]

14. "If you are not with us, you are against us"

Anything not right wing reactionary is liberal to these clowns

[tom_paine]

15. Wow, that has to be the most intellectually dishonest thing I've ever seen

Well, that's not true. Some of Stalin's Propaganda and of course Hitler's Nazi Newspapers are worse...somewhat.

No mention of O'Reichley or Matthews. No mention of the SCORES of dishonest scum Krauthammers, Malkins, Coulters, Goldbergs (he's actually just a mild liar compared to the others, and sane in comparison, too) and assorted rabid dogs.

And, of course, at least 3/4s of the "Liberal List" is bullshit and they are either centrists or liberals practicing "old school" journalism (which essentially makes them centrists) and trying to be fair or, like Baba Wawa, do fluff pieces that matter nothing anyway.

[Michael Costello]

16. NBC

NBC is owned by GE, which is a defense contractor. MSNBC also has people like Joe Scarborough on, who doesn't think guests like Pat Buchanan are far right enough so he invites people with ties to the White Citizens Councils (oops, I forget they changed their name in the 1970's or so...the Conservative Citizens councils). Jack Welch was someone who tried to bring Taylorism war against his own employees methods into the 21st century. And you should read the Congressional investigation transcripts regarding him in the NBC news room on election night 2000.

[The Backlash Cometh]

18. I think the real Liberal Media,Air America, is needed to bring perceptions

back to reality.

[Bandit]

20. Makes you wonder what they would consider DU

If being Right of Nixon is "Liberal" then we are in way more trouble as a nation than I ever dreamed.

[bloom]

30. yeah

They don't know what "liberal" is. Liberal ideas are not considered on the major stations.

[VOX]

21. What is the right wing's fascination with making LISTS???????

Count 'em up: liberal media, Hollywood traitors, Nixon's White House enemies...the right wing's always naming names and writing 'em down.

Geez -- if the RW is so touchy about all the Nazi comparisons, why don't they STOP making these goddamn lists?

The only thing that's missing is the command, "Step to zee left! Schnell! Schnell!"

P.S. Cokie Roberts a liberal? :wtf:

[i_c_a_White_Ghost]

31. they need list to remember their lies!

[sadiesworld]

22. Showtime & HBO?

They show MOVIES you friggin idiots!

[Blasphemer]

23. But.. but... but...

They make shows "glamourizing homosexuality" :eyes:

[Rockholm]

24. Isn't That Redundant?

Glamourizing Homosexuality? Just kidding.

[gemlake]

26. Wasn't the Bush* 9/11 movie

on Showtime? The one that was produced by a bunch of right wingers?

[direwolf]

25. Is there any difference

between the NY Post and Weekly World News anymore? Words fail when confronted with such massive amounts of dishonest nonsense. Of course, since Murdoch owns them I guess one shouldn't expect anything else.

Maybe cost-cutting measures have forced them to copy & paste from FR...maybe Rush is sharing his Oxy with the folks at the NY Post.

They are, complete and utter fuckwits.

[Maccagirl]

27. Your last sentence says it all

and welcome to DU!

:party:

[knight_of_the_star]

32. There is ONE difference

Everyone knows that the WWN makes up what they report. People still think the NYP is a real newspapaer.

[TruthIsAll]
